Any of you guys out there use, or tried using the variable line output from Sony ES players by directly connecting the CD player to the inputs of a power amp? How are the little pre/amps in these ES players sound quality wise?

I am thinking of skipping the integrated idea and just adding substantial quality power to my system 2....thx for any insight.
